Classified/Support Staff Compensation for 2025-26
Rationale:
The Personnel and Negotiations Committee met with Mr. Hafer on April 7th to discuss classified compensation for 2025-26. In addition, AR-412.03 was discussed and reviewed.
Mr. Hafer and the committee would like to recommend a 3.25% raise in the hourly rates of classified staff for 2025-26 in addition to the revised AR-412.03 attached. The cost of a 3.25% raise is approximately $12,000. This can vary a bit due to the amount of overtime, bus drivers, and para needs. It is also good to keep in mind all of our paras are special education paras and we receive sped reimbursement for those wages.
